Olympic programme status records whether a sport is actually part of the Olympic Games. Wikipedia notes the men's football World Cup is "the most-viewed sporting event in the world, surpassing the Olympic Games," a comparison that only makes sense because football itself is contested at the Olympics too. This dimension separates sports on the Olympic programme from those that have never been included.
